Here’s a cheap Yamaha YZ400 that the seller acquired earlier this year and then built up into a racebike that placed 2nd at this year’s Barber Vintage Festival. It’s got DID rims, Acerbis hand guards, DG pipe with FMF turbincore exhaust and more – the only problem seems to be sticker wear from the seller’s knee braces. Here’s your chance …
AMA Racer – 1983 Honda Interceptor Factory Superbike
Here’s a Honda Interceptor Factory Superbike, built to compete in the 750cc class and of course built around the legendary Honda V-4. Here’s your chance to get a real factory racebike, though the seller’s stories about pedigree will need some verification. He brings up Ron Haslam and Sam McDonald, as they raced similar bikes in AMA, but I’d love YOUR …
1966 Triumph T120TT Special
Post-Listing Update: This Triumph T120TT Special did not meet reserve at $7,700 despite 25 bids on eBay. A race bike straight from the factory, the Triumph T120TT Special was stripped of weight and had an increase in performance. The model was the brainchild of Bill Johnson, the American west coast distributor – just 900 were built.
1993 Honda CR500 Ice Racer
The Honda CR500 was a monster of a dirt bike, with the two-stroke engine putting out about 55 horsepower that were arguably difficult to control. The bike weighed 247 pounds, and it was terrifying enough that MXA magazine called it Mr. Hyde compared to the Dr. Jekyll of a much newer Honda CRF450, even though the latter is no slouch.
2007 Buell XBRR
A factory-built, $30,995 racebike, the Buell XBRR was Erik Buell’s effort at taking care of privateer racers, and it was specifically designed to compete in the AMA Formula Xtreme class. Oddly enough, that’s normally a race for modified 600cc bikes, and the XBRR uses a 1339cc Thunderstorm V-Twin. Still, that’s where AMA thought the Buell would be competitive. For more, …
NC30 – Honda VFR400 Racer
This Honda VFR400 is a dedicated track bike that was rebuilt several years ago after being torn down to the frame. A recent engine refresh means it has just 2 track days and 15 dyno pulls on the odometer. That refreshed engine pushes out a dyno-verified 65 horsepower at the rear wheel, thanks to ported and skimmed cylinder heads, lightweight …
The World’s Fastest Moto Guzzi V7 Sport
Post-Listing Update: This V7 Sport did not meet reserve at $6,200 after 24 bids on eBay. It’s quite a claim, but it’s hard to argue against this bike, which has clocked 156.233 miles per hour on the Bonneville Salt Flats!
Your Own Race Team – 2 2014 Triumph Daytona 675R DSB Racers
Riders Discount is proud to have licensed racers on staff, and that means they’re often out on the track. That also means that they’re building race bikes, and now they’re selling 2 Triumph Daytona 675R race bikes that were prepped for Road America.
1 of 67 – 1993 Ducati Supermono
9-2 Update: Reader John K. has let me know that this bike is back up for sale. Bikes from this seller never seem to hit reserve, so if it doesn’t sell here I’m not going to bother updating this listing anymore. Still, find this bike (which will definitely need to get up to over $100k) for sale here on eBay. …
How Much? 1923 Harley-Davidson 2-Cam Factory Hillclimber
Well, this is an interesting bike. Claimed to be 1 of the 5 Harley-Davidson 2-Cam Factory Hillclimbers in existence, this bike was restored 20 years ago by the original owner and has since spent its time in a museum. Only problem is, I can’t find any information on these bikes, so I’m just going with what the seller happens to …
1973 Honda CB500 Racer
Here’s some vintage racing goodness – a Honda CB500 Four that’s been converted into a racer that competed in F1 CCS’s Vintage Classes in 2000. It was also raced in 2001 and 2002 in CCS, WERA, and AHRMA, and won LW and HW Vintage classes. After that it sat until 2011 when it was sold and got some street duty. …
1971 Laverda SF Vintage Racer
Post-Listing Update: This Laverda SF Vintage Racer was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Was the Laverda SFC 750 I posted on Friday too expensive ‘original’ for you? Then you might want to take a look at this Laverda SF that was converted into a racer about 18 years ago.
1967 Ducati Mark 3 250 Racer
Post-Listing Update: This Ducati Mark 3 250 Racer only got one bid at $5,999 and did not meet reserve. Of the Mark 3’s, the Ducati Mark 3 250 is usually considered the most beautiful example of classic Italian design. This example has been turned into an AHRMA legal vintage racer, yielding a different kind of beauty.
1960 Norton Manx 40M
Post Listing Update: This Manx did not meet reserve despite 25 bids up to $29,100.29. Built for a whopping 15 years in long stroke and short stroke variants, the Norton Manx has a long, complicated history – which means that I defer you to The Vintagent to learn more. In recent times there has been a resurgence in its popularity …
1983 SWM 440GS
Ever heard of the motorcycle company SWM? Well, I hadn’t, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to introduce you if you were in the same boat as me. Founded in 1971 by two Italians, the company built several off-roaders around engines from Sachs and Rotax (the latter was utilized after 1977). In fact, one of SWM’s bikes …
